SYSLOG Check Failed (Due to cPanel update?)

I'm on a VPS and have CSF installed. A few months ago I started receiving the above messages. Don't think I ever got this message in the years I've been with this Host. My Host's tech support responded to my ticket:

There was a misconfiguration in chkservd. It was looking for a syslogd service started by root. But syslogd is supposed to be started by the syslog user.
I have corrected the config file to the proper values.

I have searched the forum but could not find any other fixes for this issue. It sems to be a bug in SYSLOG.

The only change that I'm aware of was an upgrade to php and mysql back in Sept.

The PHP version installed in the server is version 5.2.16. We shall upgrade it to version 5.3.16. However, as this is a major change, version dependent codes in your websites may not work properly after the upgrade. You need to correct them with the help of your programmer.

The MySQL installed in the server is version 5.0. We shall upgrade it to version 5.1 for you.

Not sure how serious this situation is, not being a server admin, so any help appreciated.
